Contains very little game footage. It's still kinda neat though!

I think they confirmed that there are no Final Fantasy characters. Their role will be filled by the TWEWY cast.

I never had a problem with Terra, his playstyle was more or less the same as Sora's in KH1.

Ventus however, I had some problems with because he was fast but never did any good amounts of damage.

Haven't finished Aqua's arc so I can't say anything about her yet other than she's kind of squishy at first, but her Reflect Guard sure beats Block in the defense.

Despite never having played the majority of FF games, I know even less about TWEWY characters having never played that AND never having had it shoved down my throat by rabid fans :(

Well then, you should go and buy TWEWY to rectify that problem immediately.

I have been meaning to play it but I'm kind of put off by "steep learning curve" and "Japanese youth culture". Not that I'm going ban-all-animes or anything, but I just don't know anything about Japanese youth culture so most of it's going to go over my head :ohdear:

It doesn't reference things in a specific way, the Japanese youth culture just defines the general feel of the game. Nothing will go over your head, it's just a different and fairly unique video game setting.

As for the steep learning curve, you can succeed by being as adept (mastering controlling both characters well) or as blunt (just mash left and right for the partners and concentrate on controlling Neku) as you like, without too much trouble. As you get better you can adjust the level and enemy difficulty freely to match your skill. It's really not too bad at all.

Friends depend on each other.
Kingdom Hearts games are incredibly transparent so I'm not sure why you'd be worried about spoilers. If you have a thought in your head you can probably predict everything that's going to happen in individual games within the first twenty minutes.

e: But don't participate in the Kingdom Hearts fandom anyway. It's anime and Disney mixed together and it is exactly as bad as you would think.

I don't think this is a spoiler because really, it's been implied that contact with Keyblade users gives you the power to use on, given Riku and Kairi. One Keyblade was rare because Sora was the last one able to use one post BBS

I've been spoiling the hell out of this game for myself and I've pretty much found all the major plot points to be really stupid(Axel....erm Lea becomes a keyblade wielder, zippideedoo who didn't see this coming? Isn't he supposed to be dead anyhow? And one reason I liked Axel to begin with was because he had his own distinct weapon...ah well, so much for THAT) but now this....THIS is legit awesome.

The series needs more stuff like this and less stuff like....*groan*, this.

Depends on whether they're all playable and distinct. Multiple playable characters in a 'what if' mode was the greatest thing about 358/2.

Wow. I'm literally dying of laughter here, because the plot is getting so damned stupid. I mean, all these revelations are freaking hilarious. (major spoiler) You know a series is getting messed up when time loops/paradoxes gets involved. Oh, and Xehanort wanting 15 clones of himself.

Then again, I'm not in this for the plot as much as I am for the gameplay anymore...

Well, it's literally the only place they could have gone to make this more confusing that it needs to be. And god knows they love to make it confusing.

How many Xehanorts is that now? Xehanort's Heartless (formally known as "Ansem, Seeker of Darkness"), Xehanort's Heartless possessing Riku's body, Xemnas, Xehanort (possessing Terra's body), Master Xehanort, and now Time-Travelnort and him wanting clones of himself. :sigh:

Man, you people are cuhrazy! This is the best thing they could have done. People whine "all the bad guys are Xehanort! Bad story!" and now the villain literally gathers up 13 different forms of himself, now literally all the bad guys are Xehanort.

To be serious though, I like all the Xehanorts so far. Ansem from KH1 and Xemnas from KH2, along with Master Xehanort from BbS are all cool dudes who are cool looking and I remember fondly from their respective games. Is it good writing? Hell no it isn't, but I for one don't give a poo poo.
